Six years. You should check and see if you are certifiably insane, maybe there's a tax break or a disability payment available.

I was just kidding asking you if you owned any. It's obvious-and probably has been for six years-that you are nothing. The real question is whether you are less than nothing.

As for the other clown, nothing wrong with changing your mind and abandoning an investment, but his disingenuousness in continuing to post simply defines his defective character. Perhaps he just doesn't care how stupid he looks. That would certainly not make him unique on THIS thread...

Mike - you have renamed cyberken as cyborg and the handle is accurate and funny as well ... he (has to be a he, no woman would waste so much time) is fun to laugh at, but nothing more ... he has challenged me on the MITA thread a few times and never has anything to offer ... I file some of his most humorous posts in a file called "idiots - cyberken" ... and no, there is not one called "idiots - twister" ... I may have called you an idiot (or worse), but I think you know (at least I hope you knew) that I did not really think of you in that category (or at least, have changed my mind).

I recently posted this to another poster on MITA, but it also fits cyborg ... When he sees something he does not like or agree with, he seems to have a reflexive need to label it, and then dismiss it ... it is as if he is filled with paranoia and dogmatism ... a quick and simple answer or dismissal for every issue without thinking.

In terms of your long term views of SUNW, I congratulate you on staying with your analysis for so long ... you were accurate in terms of the long-term buy and hold investors, but missed a chance to profit significantly up through the fall of 2000 as a market timer (which you have admitted a few times here to your credit).

Long term from here, I am not sure of your forecast for SUNW's complete demise, but of course, right now, your prediction holds some value in terms of caution ... you have influenced me to move my buy order for 2,000s of SUNW to 2.50 from 2.80 ... I will be watching.

You are witnessing the SGI/DEC/DATA General/and Compaq (ing) of SUNCOM, only it MIGHT be worse for suncom becasue of the atrocious ego invovled mismanagement of one golfing CEO. This person put a personal fued with another ceo above the interests of his own shareholders and employees. Now the consequences. SUNCOM as you have known it, is no more. It is TOAST

You nailed it on the head. The "terrible two's" is an appropriate stock price that reflects the emotional age of its CEO. Golfing, buying politicians and lobbyists in an attempt to stifle competition, suing and litigating, whining and crying and yapping because "Billys is bigger than mine", doing everything except what a CEO should be doing.

Toast is right...

day one i was BEARISH on scottie and his plan to grow suncom, and stated it here. Nobody understood how someone could be bearish on this great company! i endured the mirage of the bubble and many long gone people who insulted me endlessly for expressing an opinion different from their own uninformed one cyborg. i never once WAVERED from my opinion that suncom was TOAST

Alright so I have to ask... are you a broken clock bear then? SI is full of them now and with all due respect, they are about as useful as Joe Battipaglia from an investment standpoint. Theres a guy on the amat thread trying to say that all the insider buying now (which btw is at a 10-year HIGH for some sectors).. is irrelevant because there is still more selling. Duh as if buying and selling stock by insiders is some sort of "level playing field". And that valuations are still "sky high" (they are not, valuations on many techs are at '90 levels). I am interested in a bearish pov if they can be objective.
